Long sword VS Katana

Overall i believe the Katana would Win.

Oh no, this debate again. Katana is far better slashing, the Albion, broad sword or any of those swords from that region were a  much better cutter/stabber, infact most European LS's are. Different weapons with different strengths. I need to dig up one of the best studies (video and pics) I ever saw that shows the inherent differences with real cutting  and penetration power, etc. It will change your perspective and open your mind

FYI, those were 2 handed rattan, just to nitpick, heh. Try this one () I've a much better one, but its dug deep in my files. That one shows vs various armor types of the day.

Sometimes, its not just the weapons.

Its the skill, moral, strength, tactics, and the weather even.

The spirit of the warrior by many traditions varies but in linked by the strength of will. Warriors vary in martial teachings and skill. So luck plays in sometimes too. LOL.

There are never any absolutes in combats, save for one will die and one will live......maybe.

Another offering about Katana VS  ??

Any one watch the  cable TV "Deadliest Warrior ?" Many comparisons about fighters ,weapons, techniques

This might work with a little help

That show was very controversial, I more or less agree with Jeff's philosophy, Its not the tools, its the handyman.
